Draw-Tite has designed custom-fit trailer hitches since 1946 and is one of North America's most widely fitted hitch brands. Receiver hitches use solid all-welded construction and low-profile designs that follow modern vehicle contours, install with minimal bumper cutting or drilling, meet or exceed V5 CSA and SAE J684 standards, and carry a limited lifetime warranty.
Draw-Tite has been leading custom-fit trailer hitch design and engineering since its founding in 1946, and it remains one of the most widely fitted hitch brands in North America. The company's stated approach is straightforward: every hitch is tested rigorously so that it performs well beyond published industry standards, a philosophy it markets as Tested Tough. It sits within the Horizon Global towing group alongside Reese, Fulton, Bulldog, Tekonsha, Bargman and Wesbar.
Custom fit is the defining characteristic. Rather than adapting a universal design, Draw-Tite engineers a trailer hitch for a specific make, model and model year, so it bolts to existing frame locations with minimal bumper cutting or drilling. Low-profile designs follow the rear contours and aerodynamic styling of modern vehicles, which matters more than it once did now that rear fascias are shaped and sensor-equipped. Construction is solid all-welded steel for maximum strength, and every hitch meets or exceeds V5 CSA and SAE J684 standards and is backed by a nationwide limited lifetime warranty.
The range spans receiver sizes and classes to suit different loads, from 1-1/4 inch receivers for bike racks, cargo carriers and light trailers up through 2 inch receivers for heavier towing. Front mount hitches add a receiver at the front of the vehicle for winch mounts, snow plows, spare carriers and precise trailer positioning.
The Hidden Hitch series takes concealment further by mounting behind the vehicle's rear fascia, so the vehicle keeps its factory appearance until a removable receiver is fitted. Each is custom designed per make and model for a no-drill installation that does not compromise ground clearance, rated for up to 3,500 pounds gross trailer weight and 350 pounds tongue weight. Matching plug-and-play wiring completes the towing system.

How To Properly Select a Ball Mount - Draw•Tite®
The Adjustable Pintle Mount 63072 is a towing device that attaches to a hitch receiver to enable towing of trailers with pintle couplers. It features adjustable height in 1.25-inch increments to accommodate different trailer heights. The product complies with New York V.E.S.C. Regulation V-5 and SAE J684 safety standards.
The maximum Gross Towing Weight (GTW) rating for the Adjustable Pintle Mount 63072 is 14,000 lbs (6,350 kg). However, you must not exceed the lower of either your towing vehicle manufacturer's rating or this pintle mount rating.
The manual does not specify which hitch receiver types or vehicle models are compatible with part 63072. Contact the manufacturer or a fitment specialist to confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle and hitch receiver.
The manual shows the pintle mount assembly itself but does not clearly specify which components are included in the base product. The pin and clip for the shank and the pin and clip for the pintle mount are listed as sold separately. A fastener kit (part 63072F) is referenced but the manual does not confirm whether it is included or must be purchased separately.
The pin and clip for the shank and the pin and clip for the pintle mount are sold separately and are not included with the Adjustable Pintle Mount 63072. You must purchase these fasteners separately.
A torque wrench is required to tighten the 1/2-13 fasteners to the specified torque of 110 lb-ft (149 N·m). The manual does not specify other tools needed for installation.
The manual does not specify whether any vehicle components must be removed for installation. Consult the manufacturer or an installation specialist to determine if any modifications or removals are necessary for your specific vehicle.
Installation has two main steps: (1) Insert the shank into the hitch receiver and attach the pin and clip (sold separately). (2) Insert the pintle mount onto the shank, adjust to the proper height, and attach the shank pin and clip. Height adjustment is made in 1.25-inch increments. See Figure 1 for maximum drop position and Figure 2 for maximum rise position.
The proper height is achieved when the trailer coupler and tongue are level with the ground. You must check the ball mount height with both the vehicle and trailer loaded for travel. Adjust the pintle mount in 1.25-inch increments until the trailer tongue is level. See Figure 5 in the manual for the correct ball height position.
The maximum drop position is shown in Figure 1 of the manual. The measurement shown is 4 1/4 inches. Refer to Figure 1 for the visual representation of this position.
The maximum rise position is shown in Figure 2 of the manual. The measurement shown is 6 1/4 inches. Refer to Figure 2 for the visual representation of this position.
No. Figure 4 shows the storage position only and must not be used for towing. Always adjust the pintle mount to the proper height with the vehicle and trailer loaded before towing.
All 1/2-13 fasteners must be tightened with a torque wrench to 110 lb-ft (149 N·m).
Check the hitch frequently to ensure all fasteners are properly tightened. Check the ball mount height with the vehicle and trailer loaded for travel; the trailer coupler and tongue should be level with the ground. If the hitch or ball is damaged, it must be removed and replaced immediately. Do not use the storage position (Figure 4) for towing.
A damaged hitch or ball must be removed and replaced. Do not attempt to repair or continue using a damaged mount.
Check the hitch frequently to ensure all fasteners are properly tightened. The manual does not specify a particular interval, but regular inspection before each towing trip is recommended.
The manual does not specify compatible vehicle models or hitch receiver types. Contact the manufacturer or a fitment specialist with your vehicle details to confirm compatibility.
You must purchase the pin and clip for the shank and the pin and clip for the pintle mount separately. The manual does not confirm whether the fastener kit 63072F is included.
